Intel slowed PC sales to increase Skylake's price
 

Chipzilla might have caused slow PC sales at the beginning of the year to boost the price of its Skylake chips later.


A recent study shows that the slump in PC sales in the first half was deliberately made to help Skylake sell better since August. Initially analysts believed that sales of the Skylake are hindered by existing stocks of previous Haswells, but it turns out this was untrue.
